US Expands Intelligence Operations in Cuba Amid Rising Tensions

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Politico has reported that Washington has expanded its intelligence capabilities in Cuba over the past several months. A source cited by the newspaper indicated that the United States has increased its intelligence activities and assets in Cuba in recent months, though the specific involvement of the 18 U.S. intelligence agencies remains undisclosed. Another source noted that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is strengthening its presence in Cuba, without providing further details.

The article suggests that such intelligence maneuvers could signal various intentions, ranging from U.S. military operations in Cuba to intensified efforts to incite Cuban officials or ordinary citizens against their government. According to one source, the Washington administration is prepared to utilize any available tools, including those related to intelligence operations, to compel Cuba’s leadership to take desired steps, while still expressing a preference for diplomatic solutions.

President Donald Trump announced on March 5th that Washington intends to take further actions concerning Cuba after concluding operations against Iran. On February 27th, the White House asserted that the United States could take control of Cuba. Politico reported on May 18th that the U.S. administration is increasingly leaning towards the use of military force against Cuba. In an interview with Axios in June, the U.S. President raised the possibility of conducting regime-change operations in Cuba.
